the good guys rode off
leaving behind us heathens
(us heathens)
to rip to tear
to pretend we care
and have our goddamn reasons
They all rode off
one by one
cathode rays met the hue of the sun
we all waved and said our goodbyes
they'll be back in a week to hear our cries
Then one day as the last one left
we smiled once more unaware of the theft
a new guy showed up dressed to the tail
with a new attitude where the soul was frail
with swagger and sex
pushed all way to the edge
his relatable sanity
gripping on a ledge
we tuned in together
we all cried out
"give me some more
I know what that's about!"
the good guys rode off
leaving behind us heathens
(us heathens)
to rip to tear
to pretend we care
and have our goddamn reasons
indulge the dark
with a hint of glee
obscure the sun so we can't see
let's all fight to the death
Our children gasping
for one last breath
We all own the message sent
as the good guys rode off into sunset
with swagger and sex
pushed all way to the edge
his relatable sanity
gripping on a ledge
we tuned in together
we all cried out
"give me some more
I know what that's about!"
the good guys rode off
leaving behind us heathens
(us heathens)
to rip to tear
to pretend we care
and have our goddamn reasons
We all own the message sent
as the good guys rode off into sunset
We all own the message sent
as the good guys rode off into sunset
We all own the message sent
as the good guys rode off into sunset
We all own the message sent
as the good guys rode off into sunset
